Ok non-computer guru... note to self: speak in engrish...
Typically PC's have 2 fans, 1 on the CPU itself, the other in the power supply. I know it seems silly to say, but make sure both are spinning. The regularity of the crashes is disturbingly like a heat caused problem.
NT based is Windows NT, 2000 or XP. PC Chips are a motherboard manufacturer (the thing that your celeron plugs into, the huge circuit board inside the computer), and very renowned for making the most unstable boards on the planet (and selling lots of them to people who want cheap computers).
Windows 98 has a bit of a reputation for crashing, and can fall apart often on cheaper hardware.
Having said all that, it could be one of the components is getting old (if it only started recently) or it might be some badly written software.
Crashes can be painful things to track down. RAM is another good cause of crashes.
